Why Newsstand needs to go away

What was intended to be a special collection of apps has, instead, become a second-class collection. That’s why it would be better for everyone concerned—Apple, users, app developers, and publishers (including Macworld)—if Newsstand just vanished.

I have to agree with Jason on this, I’ve worked with Newsstand on a couple projects for clients, and as a developer, you had massive limits.

As an iOS user, it’s got a lot of issues, the biggest ones being: it’s either an empty folder you don’t want, or a needless barrier to accessing your publication apps.
